One of our favorite Easter activities is making Resurrection Rolls with the little ones. It's a great way to illustrate the process by which Christ was annointed and buried inside a tomb, and what happened after three days.
We began by giving each student a piece of raw, refrigerated biscuit dough. They loved being able to flatten it with their hands!
It was harder than it looked!
Next we dipped large marshmallows into melted butter, to represent annointing Christ's body with oil.
After the butter, our "bodies" were dipped into a mixture of cinnamon and sugar, representing the spices used for annointing.
Seal the biscuits tightly around the marshmallow, and they're ready for the oven!
We let the baking process represent the three days Jesus spent in the tomb. When we opened our biscuits, they were empty, just like Christ's tomb!
This project is meaningful and delicious!
